Abstract

In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to testing retail financial system transactions. In some embodiments, a system comprises an automated robotic testing device configured to retrieve a selected card from a physical media library, interact, via the selected card, with a point-of-sale terminal, the point-of-sale terminal configured to receive from the selected card, information associated with the selected card, and transmit, to an external banking institution, the information, and a control circuit configured to determine the selected card, transmit, to the automated robotic testing device, the indication of the selected card, receive one of an authorization and a lack of authorization, in response to receipt of 1) authorization, cause the transaction to be completed, and 2) the lack of authorization, cause the transaction to be voided, determine whether a test associated with the transaction was successful, and log an indication of whether the test was successful.

Claims (16)

1. A system for testing a retail financial system transaction, the system comprising: an automated robotic testing device, the automated robotic testing device configured to: retrieve, based on an indication of a selected card, the selected card from a physical media library; interact, via the selected card, with a point-of-sale terminal; the physical media library configured to hold a plurality of cards; the point-of-sale terminal communicatively coupled to a financial network and configured to; receive from the selected card, information associated with the selected card; and transmit, via the financial network to an external banking institution, the information associated with the selected card; and a control circuit configured to: determine, based on a transaction type, the selected card; transmit, to the automated robotic testing device, the indication of the selected card; receive, from the external banking institution in response to the transmission of the information associated with the selected card, one of an authorization and a lack of authorization; in response to receipt of the authorization, cause the transaction to be completed; in response to receipt of the lack of authorization, cause the transaction to be voided; determine whether a test associated with the transaction was successful; and log an indication of whether the test was successful.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the type of transaction is based on one or more of a credit card transaction, a debit card transaction, a gift card transaction, a bank, verification required by a transaction, an input type, and a geographic location.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the automated testing device includes a least one end effector configured to grasp the selected card.
4. The system of claim 1, wherein the control circuit is further configured to: select, based on the information associated with the selected card, the external banking institution.
5. The system of claim 1, wherein the transaction is a live transaction.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the selected card includes two or more cards.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the automated testing device interacts with the point-of- sale terminal via the selected card by one or more of swiping the selected card, dipping the selected card, and tapping the selected card.
8. The system of claim 1, wherein the automated testing device is further configured to: interact with the point-of-sale device via one or more of hard buttons and soft buttons.
9. A method for testing a retail financial system transaction, the method comprising: determining, based on a transaction type, a selected card; transmitting, to an automated testing device, an indication of the selected card; retrieving, by the automated testing device based on the indication of the selected card, the selected card from a physical media library; interacting, by the automated testing device via the selected card, with a point-of-sale terminal; receiving, via the point-of-sale terminal, information associated with the selected card; transmitting, by the point-of-sale terminal via a financial network to an external banking institution, the information associated with the selected card; receiving, from the external banking institution in response to the transmitting the information associated with the selected card, one of an authorization and a lack of authorization; in response to receiving the authorization, causing the transaction to be completed; in response to receiving the lack of authorization, causing the transaction to be voided; determining whether a test associated with the transaction was successful; and logging an indication of whether the test was successful.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the type of transaction is based on one or more of a credit card transaction, a debit card transaction, a gift card transaction, a bank, verification required by a transaction, an input type, and a geographic location.
11. The method of claim 9, wherein the automated testing device includes at least one end effector configured to grasp the selected card.
12. The method of claim 9, further comprising: selecting, based on the information associated with the selected card, the external banking institution.
13. The method of claim 9, wherein the transaction is a live transaction.
14. The method of claim 9, wherein the selected card includes two or more cards.
15. The method of claim 9, wherein the automated testing device interacts with the point-of- sale terminal via the selected card by one or more of swiping the selected card, dipping the selected card, and tapping the selected card.
16. The method of claim 9, further comprising: interacting, via the automated testing device, with the point-of-sale device via one or more of hard buttons and soft buttons.
